BEFORE FIRST USE Setting Up Test Run Basket Tips 1. Remove all packaging from the air fryer, including any temporary stickers. • Separate baskets only to clean or after cooking. 2. Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from areas that can be damaged by steam (such as walls or cupboards). A test run will help you become familiar with your air fryer, make sure it’s working correctly, and clean it of possible residues in the process.
USING YOUR AIR FRYER Air Frying Note: • Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. This disrupts airflow and causes poor air frying results. [Figure 3.1] • An air fryer is not a deep fryer. Do not fill the baskets with oil, frying fat, or any liquid. • When taking the baskets out of the air fryer, use a heat-resistant glove or oven mitt to avoid touching the front of the basket. Be careful of hot steam, and do not press the basket release button.
